Through the National Skills Strategy 2025, the Action Plan for Education 2016-2018 and as part of the current Programme for Government, Ireland aims to significantly grow work-based learning over the coming five years using the apprenticeship and trainee shipmodes of learning and skills development.
Throughout the world there is evidence of the positive impact of learning which is closely linked to the workplace.
Employers can access a pipeline of talent and learners, whether as prospective or actual employees, develop cutting edge skills and knowledge on-the-job, making them more skilled, more employable and with enhanced career options.
To excel in the global competition for talent many developed countries are now investing in work-based learning. Ireland has a strong reputation internationally for its education and training system and an excellent track record in work-based modes that include apprenticeship and traineeship.
